If the water level is below 1/2 inch from the bottom of the spin basket. it takes about 90 seconds for the wax motor to cool down and retract the piston.

. This provides enough time for the spin basket to slow its rotation down to the wash speed before the door could possibly be opened. The magnet field of the coil pulls the locking fork down and tries to pull the contacts of the door lock switch closed. The wax motor and spin lock arm are used to prevent the door from being opened while the spin basket is still spinning. At the same time. the piston closes the door lock auxiliary switch allowing the washer to go into spin. removing current from the coil.

The hot solenoid is connected to the incoming hot water.
The electronic water level sensor is made up of an electronic board and a bellow inside a sealed chamber. The valve body provides an air passage with a large orifice and seat where the water can be stopped. This signal is then sent to the control board which governs the incoming water by connecting or disconnecting a neutral line to the water solenoids. The electronic board reads the pressure in the bellow and converts it into an electronic signal. The wash and bleach solenoids share a common input cavity that is connected to the cold water supply. with the bleach solenoid having a separate output cavity.

Water Inlet Valve Assembly:
The water inlet valve assembly is made up of a plastic housing. It has a small bleed orifice outside the seat contact area. A moveable rubber diaphragm operates against the valve seat to start and stop the flow of water. and a large main orifice at its center. The armature of the solenoid serves to open and close the main orifice. The outlet of the valve body empties into a chamber. The chamber is connected by a hose to the air bell located at the bottom of the washer attached to the drain boot. 3 solenoids and a positive thermal sensor.

Water Valve Open and Diaphragm Up When the solenoid is de-energized. the wash and bleach solenoids are activated. the resulting magnetic field pulls the armature up into the valve guide.
